Male 3 was the most vigorous and had some of the thinnest leaves. The leaf shape was also slightly different. He really was different than all the others. Easy to spot I would say.
But the reason I kept him was because I had been able to smell something special in there, when he was 3 weeks old from seed. Not from stem-rubbing but out of the leaves. Smell that I haven't been able to reek again on him since.

I think you can smell it if you know what you are looking for. But this was one out of 40+.

Nice photos & thread, I’ve found w Haze, the more disproportionate the middle leaf is longer than to all others, the better chance of finding old school incense phenos, quality, uniqueness and a step back into past.

When did you source from MNS, I think the when is key there to find grail like NLD potential within some of the hybrid lines

Im not a lucky guy and I have lost years of time (and $$$) with MNS Hazes and other hazes that have been hyped over the years.

I'm not saying you have to grow Original Haze. There are no seeds available anymore, so this is not an option. Im just comparing the pure Hazes I have tried, and giving my opinion on the incense trait.

Mns hazes are a total shit shoot but when and if you are lucky enough to find a good one it's a game changer. However nothing is more depressing than putting in all of the work only to get a few mediocre plants that smell like pee. Been there done that.

Barney's grinspoon has been far and away better than any haze I have grown by mns. I found a keeper in my first 5 seeds, it's got the hazey incense goodness and finishes in about 11 weeks. It's full able to finish outdoors in new england too.

when was the Grinspoon sourced, do you believe the current available form is consistent with your comments above? I'm intrigued...

MNS prior to 2010-11 I find have much better odds to find supreme quality than say 2013 on.....
